HOW LONG? Ubisoft reckon gamers will still be playing Watch Dogs in 2029 [UBISOFT]

SEQUELS to hit hacking game Watch Dogs will still be coming out in the year 2029, according to the makers.

Ubisoft chiefs reckon their new blockbuster juggernaut has the ability to last 15 years on the next-gen consoles.

CEO Yves Guillemot believes new franchises on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One will have massive longevity.

And he has long-term plans for both Watch Dogs and upcoming new blockbusters like The Division and The Crew.

“That's why at Ubisoft, we have always been there early with the arrival of new consoles”

Yves Guillemot, CEO, Ubisoft

He said: "What I saw from the beginnings of this industry was, during those console shifts, there are lots of opportunities.

"Each time a new console is coming, there are lots of opportunities to create new brands or new types of gameplay – to change the worlds players are spending their time in.

"Each time a new console arrives, it gives us a chance to actually create new brands, or to push forward some of our legacy brands.

"That's why at Ubisoft, we have always been there early with the arrival of new consoles.

"Because after that, you have five or ten years with those brands – even 15 years for some of them."

The Assassins' Creed hitmaker is revelling in huge sales and critical acclaim for Watch Dogs, where you play hacker Aiden Pearce hell-bent on avenging a family death.

Fans of the GTA-style open-world game love its stand-out hacking abilities, where you can hack in and control things like explosive steam pipes, steal money from ATMs and listen in on people’s phone calls.

The game broke records as the best-selling new franchise at launch across the entire videogame industry with more than 4 million copies sold in its first week alone.
